Comments

Fred Mantz is still listed in the 1940 Census but with no profession; two of his sons (difficult to read their first names) are listed as bakery manager and laborer. He gave out tokens like this for years. Starting in 1897. This token from the later years in the bussiness. As indicated from the cansus the one son may have contined the business or matbe went to work foer another bakery.
